Vault is by far my worst event, I'm training level 10 but my vault is not up to level. I have been training tsuk layouts for over a year now and they have not improved at all. I then switched to tsuk tuck full for a couple months and it was going quite well but me and my coach decided it would...
I am a level 9 gymnast and I am currently competing in aerial round-off as my connection. Now yes you do get credit for this but if you wobble or stop at all on the aerial before the round-off, then you don't get credit. I have only got the credit for it one time for this reason. So currently I...
As a level 9 gymnast, this is what I ate yesterday:
-2 rice cakes with PB, berries, and a protein bar
-Ham sandwich, carrots, cheese+crackers, and a chobani flip yogurt
-Cabbage rolls, and an apple after
-A bowl of cheerios and a banana for a snack
This was actually less food than I usually eat...
Wow! I loved that routine posted above. She really was expressive. I do feel that most routines (NCAA, elite, club, etc.) are all lacking in the dance department. It does feel rare to see a routine that really pulls in the audience. Side note: The gymnast in the video did two passes, double...
Hi everyone, I hope this doesn't qualify as seeking for medical advice so lmk. So basically yesterday I was doing my leap pass and all of a sudden my leg/butt area start to hurt really bad. I take it easy the rest of practice, mostly doing bars. I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle and it still...
Hi! I used to have the same problem as you, and I would get so frustrated because I knew I could do so much better than what I performed at the meets. I have some tips that have helped me:
1- First, keep a positive mindset. Don't say negative phrases in your head like "I hope I don't fall"...
This is very common I feel, not everyone talks about it since it is an awkward spot to get bruised. I get the same thing, and I usually wear shorts when that happens and then ice the area when I get home.
Hey everyone! My competition season is quickly approaching and I have almost all of my skills, except I can't seem to get the hang of a bail by myself. I have been doing them for a long time with spot and by myself with extra mats. But I have a hard time doing it by myself on the real bar, my...

Just out of pure curiosity, would you feel the same way if a girl was crying because a coach or teammate was being mean to them? What about if they are crying because they are scared to go for a skill? What if they are crying because they fell at a meet? Etc. These are questions for everyone, as...
As the competition season is heading closer I am getting very nervous about competing on floor. I posted a similar thread a couple of months ago but I have still yet to confirm my tumbling passes with my coach:( Anyway to the point. I am struggling with connecting two saltos together and I have...
